Is Loongson a fraud? Why can't you see a cpu called Loongson on major IT websites?

Comrades don't have to be so resistant to our domestic chips. The performance of this chip is not as good as that of giant companies such as Intel and AMD, and there is a big gap with IBM's Power 7, but it is still a good product in terms of performance and cost performance.

The reason why Loongson is rarely seen on IT websites is that on the one hand, Loongson is oriented to commercial servers, special machines and other fields, so our home users are basically not exposed to such products. I heard that a brand once launched a notebook computer based on Loongson, and later the sales volume was not ideal.

On the other hand, the most important aspect is that the overall platform and industrial chain are still quite imperfect. A computer not only needs a CPU, but also needs the cooperation of other peripheral accessories such as a chipset. However, China is relatively backward in the field of chipset, and the Loongson supporting products are not perfect and have poor compatibility. For example, a commercial chipset of Intel or AMD can correspond to many processors, and customers can have many choices. Moreover, Loongson's own chipset can only be compatible with Loongson, and Loongson's product models are not as rich as Intel and AMD, so it can't compete with big international companies in the market. China is still extremely backward in memory granule, high-speed DSP and GPU. Godson's performance is not the strongest, but it is definitely not weak. It's just that backward supporting parts and industrial chains have dragged their feet.

However, the development of everything is a process from scratch, from weak to strong. Godson is only the first step, and it will get better gradually in the future, as long as you continue to work hard.
